When parents or baby sitters are left in charge of a small child, the childís welfare is the most important thing, especially when the weather is good and people open the windows. Sometimes they forget to use a little common sense.

Most of the homes in Worcester have combination windows. If you want a little fresh air, put the screen at the top instead of the bottom of the window.

It takes very little pressure to push out a screen. Even a 2-year-old can do it.

This kind of accident has happened at least once every year. Itís too bad that the latest one had to be fatal.
